Happy National Girlfriend Day with Chico’s!

July 31, 2019

Here’s to our girlfriends … the ones who lift us up and support us. There’s nothing like a heart-to-heart talk … or a belly-busting laugh … with the girls.  One of my very favorite brands Chico’s reached out to help me celebrate National Girlfriend Day, August 1st.  It couldn’t be a more perfect collaboration because Chico’s is just like a good girlfriend: supportive, flattering, and empowering!  They are a brand that really cares about its customers, employees, bloggers and the community.

Harem Pants, Sparkly Summer Slides, & Statement Earrings

July 27, 2019

Last time I got my hair done, my hairdresser was wearing the coolest harem pants and all of a sudden I had to have a pair. I found this inexpensive pair on Amazon and they’re great, though I think for a full harem effect, I might need to go up a size.  Honestly, they fit more like joggers.

Mix & Match Travel Capsule Wardrobe

July 24, 2019

There’s nothing quite as fabulous as going on vacation, yet trying to decide what to pack can be a headache.  It’s your vacation and you want to look amazing … but you also don’t want to lug around three suitcases.   Have you tried packing a capsule wardrobe for a trip?  I took some of my favorite Chico’s mix and match pieces and created a travel capsule wardrobe to keep you looking chic every single day of your trip!

Okay Friends, I know it’s super frustrating that the exact Nordstrom Anniversary Sale top and jeans in my last post were all sold out.  (Fingers crossed for restocking!).

As of right this minute, THIS fabulous sweater and cool pair of straight leg jeans are still available!  And I’m loving them both!

Leopard Tee & Dad Jeans – Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

July 15, 2019

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a fun and wild ride … for bloggers for sure … and I think for any serious shoppers!  The drama of the busy website, the orders still “getting ready” for days at a time, the things you thought you bought but then turn up “cancelled” on your account because they’re sold out. It is weird that I enjoy the drama a bit?  I always liked that about designer collaborations as well. I guess this recovering drama queen still enjoys a little excitement in her life, as long as it’s super small and totally manageable!

Nordstrom card holders can start shopping today at 9:30 PT/12:30 ET.  The sale opens up to the public next Friday, the 19th.
